| The '''Back Shield''' ({{ja|バックシールド|Bakkushīrudo}}, ''Back Shield'') is a unique [[item]] from the {{uv|Kid Icarus}} series. It was introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | | The '''Back Shield''' ({{ja|バックシールド}}, ''Bakkushīrudo'') is a unique item introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. As the name would suggest, the item protects the fighter's rear from harm. The shield lasts for 30 seconds, with time reduced based on how much damage it has taken (5 [[Home-Run Bat]] swings at 30% damage reduces it by about 5 seconds, for example). It stays the same size for all characters and is positioned just below their center if they are taller, so is less protective for taller characters, while providing practically full rear protection for smaller characters. |

| The Back Shield originated as an item in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. Much like in ''SSB4'', it temporarily protects [[Pit]] from enemy attacks from behind and it rotates with Pit to always be behind him. | | The Back Shield originated as an item in ''{{s|icaruspedia|Kid Icarus: Uprising}}''. It was used to protect [[Pit]] from enemy attacks from behind and it rotated with Pit to always be behind him. In ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', this is true; however, not much is known as to how much it protects the player. |

The shield lasts for 30 seconds, with time reduced based on how much damage it has taken (5 [[Home-Run Bat]] swings at 30% damage reduces it by about 5 seconds, for example). Some fighters can also take advantage of their [[back aerial]]s as they won't be damaged from colliding with another fighter's attack. There is a slight [[push]] effect near the shield.

| |desc-ntsc=This durable, defensive shield comes to Smash Bros. from Kid Icarus: Uprising. If you pick it up, it will attach itself to you, protecting your back from most threats. It won't stop grabs or piercing attacks, however, and it only lasts so long before vanishing.

| |desc-pal=A floating shield from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Pick it up and it'll protect you from attacks from behind. It's not perfect, though, as it can't block grabs or piercing attacks. Still, it'll block any standard attacks until it eventually disappears, so it's a pretty useful thing to get your hands on!

| ===As an item===
| |
| The Back Shield returns in ''Ultimate''. It retains its design and function from ''SSB4''.
| |
| | |
| ===Spirits===
| |
| While the Back Shield itself does not have a [[spirit]], the item appears as an ability for the [[primary spirit]] Alm & Celica and the [[support spirit]]s General Pepper, Alolan Exeggutor, Gyromite, Phyllis & Pelly, or Flow. Using any of the listed spirits will give the player a Back Shield at the start of a match.
